Ground search efforts were underway today in the area of Gairloch Rd., Lansdowne Station, as the missing persons investigation into the disappearance of Lilly and Jack Sullivan continues.
Seventy-eight trained searchers from nine ground search and rescue organizations, including, Colchester County, Pictou County, Halifax, Strait Area, East Hants, Eastern Shore, Musquodoboit Valley, Pugwash, and Eastern Shore, were engaged today in an effort to advance the ongoing investigation and locate Lilly and Jack.
Searchers continued to focus on specific areas around Gairloch Rd. and the nearby pipeline, where a boot print was previously located. A total of 8.5 square kilometres has now been grid-searched.
The search was supported by Nova Scotia Public Safety Field Communications and EHS Emergency Preparedness Special Operations.
The Nova Scotia RCMP would like to thank all of the search and rescue volunteers who have dedicated more than 10,000 hours of their time, searching in very challenging conditions, to help find Lilly and Jack and support the missing persons investigation.
Any future searches will be determined based on the course of the investigation.
